If you own real estate, you have an opportunity to share the benefits you’ve received as a property owner. In our current system we encourage property owners to sell to the highest bidder, however I’d like to offer an alternative framework for sellers as an opportunity to work towards a more just and equitable world. If you are thinking of selling property, I invite you to think about how you can expand access to homeownership, this can range from simply considering all financing options as equals to a more involved process like an equity share. Let’s connect so I can hear more about your situation!

Cash is Not King

Consider offers that will be using financing equally as cash offers. In our digital age, it’s easy to track where funds are coming from and loan approval is quicker than in previous years. Many loans can be funded within days and do not disrupt the escrow process or timeline. Simply put, it’s ok to wait for loans to close. Cash buyers may be large institutions buying investment properties not homes. 

Equity Share

This is a way to continue to build equity while providing affordability and access to others. 

Donate to a Land Trust or Housing Non-Profit

Sometimes a tax write off is more valuable than receiving market rate. 

Sell for Less 

If you’ve built up a lot of equity, sometimes reducing your tax liability on capital gains is better than receiving market rate.
